Is hitting a batter in baseball as retaliation ok in your opinion?

PLEASE DONT ANSWER IF YOU DONT KNOW ABOUT BASEBALL.......MY FAG FRIEND THINKS IT IS A CRIME TO ALL MANKIND AND DOESNT WANT TO BE MY FRIEND BC I FEEL IT IS OK TO RETALIATE GIVEN THE CIRSTANCES. HE SAYS HE DOESNT WANT TO BE FRIENDS WITH A PERSON WHO HAS THAT OUTLOOK ON LIFE. LIKE BASEBALL IS A REPRESENTATION OF WHY THE WORLD SUCKS......TELL ME WHAT U THINK.
